ANNUAL TRADE REVIEW
FALL OF 1884.
THE MORMXG SEWS
Mammoth Trade Edition
WILL BE ISSCED
MONDAY, SEPT. 1.
The Annnal Trade Review of the busin*ss of
Savannah and the Sooth daring the commer
cial year now aboat closing will be issued
by the Morning News on Monday Sept. 1.
This edition will be printed on a mammoth
sheet, 38x52, and wiU be, as all previous edi
tions have been, a credit to Savannah.
In addition to a complete review of the
business of Savannah, embracing all its
branches, and a resume of its commercial and
shipping news, it will also give a general out
line of the trade of the country.
This edition will be a paper which every
citizen will take a pride in sending abroad to
friends and correspondents, as an evidence of
the prosperity of l|is home, and will give to
those receiving copies of it an accurate idea of
the importance of Savannah as a place of busi
ness.
The outlook is excellent for an active and
healthy fall and winter business. The
stringency of the money market for months
past has compelled purchasers to limit their
demand. The sale of the new crop, however,
will relieve the money pressure and bring
into market cash buyers. The Trade Review
affords an unsurpassed opportunity for our
merchants to address buyers of Georgia and
Florida, people who do most of their trading
with Savannah and look to the Morning
Sews for information.
In addition to being sent to every reader of
t he Daily Morning News, The Trade Re
view will be mailed to every subscriber to the
Savannah Weekly News, which editions,
with copies sent by advertisers, will give this
issue an aggregate
Circulation of 20,000 to 25.000 Copies,
An advertisement in the columns of the
Trade Review will be a direct solicitation
from the merchant to the buyer, and cannot
fail to be of benefit.
Advertisements must be sent in by Satur
day noon, Aug. 30. ,

THE WORLD’S EXPOSITION.
The First Installment of the 15,000
Fund Awaiting the State Commis
sioner's Disposal—How the Georgia
Movement is Progressing.
Maj. D. C. Bacon, Commissioner from
Georgia to the New Orleans Exposition,
will leave to-morrow night or Tuesday for
Atlanta and other cities in the Northern
part of the State in the interests of the
Georgia exhibit.
Maj. T. M. Barna, who has been for sev
eral months energetically at work organ
izing a special display from Atlanta, has,
after a conference with the leading citizens
and business men of the city, concluded to
place Atlanta in the general State dis
play, and will exert his influence towards
securing an exhibit which will fitly rep
resent the industries and resources of the
Empire State of the South.
‘■l am in receipt of a communication
from Gov. McDaniel,” said Mayor
Bacon, “stating that he has been
advised by the Director-General that
his draft in my favor for $1,333 33 will be
paid upon presentation. This is the first
installment*of the $5,000 from the govern
mental loan which is appropriated to
each State, to be expended in organizing
its display.”
‘“What is being done so far as you are
advised. Major, in other parts ’of the
State?”
“I was in Brunswick the other day.
While there I met Mr. Dunn, Commis
sioner from Glynn county, and also Presi
dent of the Glynn County Agricultural
Society. I found him energetically at
work, and there is every prospect that
his county will be splendidly repre
sented.”
During his trip to North Georgia
it is probable that Maj. Bacon
will be present at the State
Agricultural Society, which meets in
Rome on Thursday. President Livingston
is the Commissioner from the Fifth Con
gressional district, and is thoroughly in
terested in organizing the State exhibit.
The matter will be brought before the so
ciety, and it is probable that some action
will be taken to advance the display and
make it one of which no State need be
ashamed.
Commissioner Harden, of Chatham
county, is systematically at work. The
canvass of the city for subscriptions to
the Exposition fflnd will begin in a short
time, and there is every evidence that
it will meet with a general response.
A gentleman recently from New Or
leans says that the main Exposition
building will lie completed in a short
time, probably in about three weeks.
There are nearly a thousand men at work
on the main and government buildings.
The latter is located between the main
building and St. Charles avenue, the di
mensions being 885 feet long by 565 feet
wide. The government building is some
what in advance of the front line
of the main building, so that persons
standing on St. Charles avenue can ob
tain an unobstructed view of the larger
building. As soon as the main buildings
are completed the workmen will be trans
ferred to the government buildings.
Workmen are applying for situations
daily, but the builders already have all
the men they can use to advantage. A
gang of laborers have been set to work
beautifying the grounds and excavating
the spaces to be occupied by arti
ficial lakes. The Art building,
200 feet long, is located between
the main building and Horticultural
Hall. The Horticural Hall is nearly com
pleted. The painters have finished the
underside of the roof. The beams and
panels of Southern pine are being stained,
and serve to set off and enrich the appear
ance of the interior. Under the central
high tower of glass there will be a foun
tain throwing a stream of water 50 feet
high. There is a reservoir at least a
dozen feet deep, and 40 feet in diameter,
built of solid masonry. The top is on a
level with the ground. The waste and
supply pipes have been laid already, and
there is really but little work more" to be
done in order to complete Horticultural
Hall.
AN INCENDIARY ATTEMPT.
The Fire Department Called Out by a
Blaze on President Street.
A confused alarm was sounded on the
City Exchange bell a few minutes before
2 o’clock this morning. It was caused by
the discovery of a fire—evidently of in
cendiary origin—between the frame build
ing. No. 150 President street, occupied by
William O’Dwyer and Dorney’s carpen
ter shop adjoining it. The policeman
patrolling President street discovered
the fire just as It began to blaze up, and
arousing the inmates of the house he ran
to the corner of Whitaker and Brough
ton streets and attempted to turn in an
alarm. For some cause the apparatus
failed to do its duty. Another officer
made the attempt and "was more success
ful. The department responded, but by
the time they had arrived at the fire it had
been extinguished by water thrown from
buckets.
The damage was slight. The fire had
been started at tne corner and on top of
the basement wall, where it had evidently
burned for some time in the wet wood
work without breaking into a blaze. The
building was the original Masonic Hall of
Solomon’s Lodge. It is now owned by the
Union Society.
“THE DANITES.”
The Ford*’ Testimonial to Messrs. Duf
fleld and Hanley.
The sale of reserved seats for the grand
complimentary benefit tendered by the
Ford Dramatic Association to Messrs.
Duffield and Hanley at the theatre Wed
nesday night, indicates one of the largest
audiences of the season. The famous
play, “The Danites,” a picture of West
ern border life will be presented by a
cast including the full strength of the
association, with Misses Pierce and
Chambers and Mr. W. I). Stone.
Messrs. Duffield and Hanley have com
pletely won the favor .of the Savannah
amusement public during the Fords’ sum
mer nights entertainments, and they are
already assured a rousing benefit upon
their departure.
THE LETTER CARRIERS.
Nearly a Quarter*! a Million Pieces of
Mail Matter Handled in July.
The mail carriers in the Savannah post
office handled 229,709 pieces of mail mat
ter during the month of July. They col
lected 84,392 letters, postal cards and

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 18&L
A FOUR-SIDED FIGHT.
A Blood-Thirsty Negro Kicks Up a Big
Row In South Broad Street.
About 7:30 o’clock last night four
negroes got into a dispute in regard to a
settlement of a small account, one claim
ing that another named Tony Rivers owed
him twenty cents, which the latter de
nied. The accuser drew a knife and at
tacked Rivers in a savage manner, cutting
one of the arteries of his right forearm.
Daniil Young and Edward Hanley
attempted to take the knife which the as
sailant was using and to overpower him,
as it was evident that he meant to con
tinue the assault, when he turned on
them and cut them about the arms and
hands. While they were engaged in the
struggle Officer Dunham, attracted by
the noise, hihtened to the scene on South
Broad street lane, near Houston, and took
the assailants into custody. Rivers was
discovered bleeding profusely, and the
other men were more or less covered with
blood. By the time the party reached
the barracks it was found that
Rivers was dangerously wound
ed. Dr. McFarland was called,
and while dressing Rivers’ wounds the
latter fainted, and for some minutes it
was feared that he would die. He finally
rallied and was sent to his home on Shin
bone alley, between Jefferson and Mont
gomery streets. The injuries to the other
men were not serious. The assailant was
considerably bruised in the fight to wrest
the knife from his grasp.

Col. H. S. Russell has been requested
bv the Russian Government to select for
it an American trainer to go to the land
of the Czar and found a training school
there. The Orloffs of Russia have trotting
dispositions, but thev have not been
handled in a way to develop light-harness'
speed. The vehicles are clumsy, the har
ness heavy and not well proportioned, and
the methods of training bad. The govern
ment very properly thinks that much
benefit will be derived by adopting the
ideas which havo placed the American
trotting horse ahead of all others in the
world.

GEORGIA’S OLD PRINTERS.
Men Who Hne Stood More than Half
a Century at the Case.
Pennsylvania boasts of a printer named
Quinn, better known among the craft as
“Father Quinn,” in Erie, way up in the
northwest corner'of the State, who has
iust completed his halt century at the
case. Father Quinn’s “string” would ffll
16,000 columns of space, and, if stretched
out in a continuous line, would make over
7 miles of solid reading matter. The
editor of the Sumter linpublican. Brother
Hancock, comes to the front with another
50 years of toil with the types and sets
up his claim as the oldest printer in Geor
gia, but Savannah goes one better, and
can boast of three printers, two of whom
have been at the case considerably over 60
years, and one,over 60.
Capt. Josiah* Hodges, the oldest of the
three, is considerably beyond -70. He
started as an apprentice to the printing
trade in the old Georgian office over 60
years ago. He afterwards became fore
man of the office. When quite a young
man he moved to MacDn, and remained*
there for a number of years as foreman of
the Messenger. He "was twice elected
Sheriff oi Bibb county and filled the office
very acceptably. It was his unpleasant
duty upon two occasions to act as Jack
Ketch for two negroes hung
for murder. Upon retiring from the
office of Sheriff he began farming, but
there was nothing so natural to him as
the click of the types, and he returned to
his trade. Shortly afterwards he moved
back to Savannah, where he now resides
with his daughter. Although advanced
in years he is active and smart, and can
pick up and distribute 6,000 ems a day.
He is in no regular employment at pres
ent, but takes odd jobs as they are offered
him. There are many younger men who
are no match for him at the case, in his
long career he has seen what, if written
out and published, would form many en
t-rtaining volumes. He is in good health,
cheerful to a degree, but when aroused
will fight at the drop of a hat. He is the
sole survivor of all his contemporaries
and promises to last for many years to
come. It is but just to say that there are
few men living who have seen as much
hard service as Capt. Hodges.
Another veteran typo who celebrated
the 50th anniversay of his entrance upon
the “art preservative of all arts” on March
17 is L. P. Ashby. When he first went at
the business such a thing as a printer’s
roller was not known in his section of the
country. The “forms” were worked on a
Ramage press, two pulls to a sheet, and
were inked with balls. There were two
negroes in Mr. Ashby’s town who could
play tunes with the buckskins on the
forms as they struck them with the inky
balls. Not long after this the Smith and
Washington presses were introduced,
and when subsequently these presses
were fitted with inking machines from
behind it was deemed a" world’s wonder.
The power press was the next astonish
ing innovation. Mr. Ashby has gone
through all the gradations of a f nnting
office from sweeper up, water toter and
fire builder to compositor and editor. He
is now a compositor on the Morning
News, and is as sprightly as the young
est man at the case. He has an
only brother living, over 73
years old, who finished his
time long before the present Ashby went
to the trade. He was a high private
during the war between the States, and
followed Gen. Lee to West Virginia. He
was afterward taken prisoner by Burn
side at Roanoke Island, N. C., "and ex
changed and continued In the army till
the close of the war, though much above
military age. Since then he has made
regular circuits of the Southern and West
ern States, and there are few towns from
Virginia to Texas where he has not visit
ed and worked. He Is well known to the
craft all over the South. His journeys
have been made on foot, and, old as he
was, he could knock off his twenty-seven
miles a day. He still follows the trade,
which he has been at for sixty-one years.
Hon. George N. Nichols, who celebrated
his fiftieth anniversary at the trade on
June 4, is another veteran whose first
“sit” dates back in the “thirties.” Mr.
Nichols has taken good care of himself
and has been more successful than the
generality of the craft. He owns the
oldest job office in Georgia, and has ac
cumulated a competency. His friends in
this community are legion, and there are
few men whom printers had rather work
for. He has filled the office of Alderman
for several terms and is a member of the
present board. He was nominated a few
years ago as the workingman’s candidate
for the Legislature and elected, and served
his term.
In addition to these veterans in the sec
ond half century of their career, J. W.
Lamotte and James M. Johnsen, two
ot her compositors on the Morning News,
have served 48 to 49 years at the “case,”
and are still hale and hearty.
There was living at Union Court House,
S. C., a few years ago, old Mr. McKnight,
who, if still living, is perhaps the oldest
printer in America. His youngest son
was named George, also a printer, who
became celebrated during the war under
the now. de plume of “Asa Hart.” He was
a poet hardly excelled and a fine prose
writer. He was taken prisoner during
the war at New Orleans and sent to John
son’s Island, where he contracted bron
chitis, which undermined his constitu
tion. He died at Spartanburg shortly
after the burning of Columbia by Sher
man.
The stories that these “old vets” could
write oi the incidents in their career
would fill volumes. They have toiled
through the best years of life with the
clicking types. They have seen genera
tions come and go. They have watched
the progress of the art for half a century,
and have seen the wondrous changes that
have been made. They have worked day
and night. They have been kicked about
as the “devil,” have been roared at when
they worked at the case by the foreman,
cursed by the proof-reader and blowed at
by the editor. They have seen printers and
foremen and pressmen and reporters and
editors fill their places and leave them
empty. They have stood under candles,
lard oil, lamps and gas till wav Into the
late hours of early'morning, and have
climbed clear into the boxes to chase a
type up into a corner when the cases
were not full. They are now on the turn
of life, but they still cling to the craft.

Daytona Journal: By the personal
inspection of one of our friends we know
that the Seville and Halifax River Rail
road contractors are putting.forth every
energy to complete the road tis per their
promise. Every man that can be secured
is at work cutting ties and- throwing dirt
on the grade in spite of the floods ol
water which unfortunately are inundat

out of water work will be done. They
are determined that tlffi Seville and Hali

coast. We have had no doubt from the
beginning of our efforts to secure it to
the present time that such would be th*
case, and now the energy and skill of the
superintendents of this work in overcom
ing even the unusual obstacles presented
by the nature of the country and the daily
rains simply give more certainty.

THE SAVANNAH HOSPITAL.
A Noble Institution and How It Is Man
aged—How the Patient* are Received
and Treated—The Improvement* that
Have Been Made In ths Past Tear.
The Savannah Hospital Is one of the
handsomest public buildings in the city.
The main structure is about 60 feet
front and 50 feet deep, exclusive
of verandahs. It is three stories
high on a basement, and is
flanked on the east and west sides by two
wings about 60 feet in length and 50 feet
deep and two stories in height. The up
per portion of the building was formerly
occupied by the old Medical college, but
in 1877 the structure was remodeled and
extensions made, and in -the fall of that
year it was occupied as a hospital. The
spacious grounds are bounded
by Huntingdon, Gaston, Drayton
and Abercorn streets. The site is one of
the choicest in the city, being directly
east of Forsyth Park, and fronting some
of the most costly private residences.
From whatever side the structure is
viewed its appearance is imposing, with the
white exterior of its walls reflecting the
light and formiug a marked contrast to
the dark foliage of lofty pines and wide
spreading oaks which ornament the site,
and in part form the background of the
view.
The main entrance is reached from
Huntingdon street by a broad stairway
leading to a spacious portico across which
the visitor passes to the main door, and
an interior hall about 12 feet in width
and .50 feet in length. This hall ter
minates at the north side of the
structure where the rear door opens
out upon a wide portico and a flight of
stone steps leading to the open grounds on
the Gaston street side.
The main hall is intersected by a passage
way of corresponding width which ex
tends the entire length of the building. A
stairway leads from this hall to the base
ment, where the ceilings are high and all
the apartments well lighted and venti
lated.
In this portion of the building is located
the paint room, trunk room, pantry and
kitchen, while in the eastern wing is along
dining room for the accommodation of the
chronic patients, three private rooms for
servants employed on the premises, a
store room, and a heating room, the latter
supplied with a boiler with a capacity of
over 300 gallons, with pipes leading to
steam chests on the upper floors.
In the western wing of the basement
are five apartments, including wards for
aged male and female patients, a room
for the night watchman and other attend
ants.
Beyond this wing on the west side of the
building is the morgue or dead house, a
new structure built wholly underground
some three months ago, and which was
described in the Morning News about
that time.
The first story of the hospital is divided
into rooms for the accommodation of the
Superintendent and the resident phy
sician. There is also a dining room, a
linen room and a dispensary. These
rooms are neatly furnished and" well ven
tilated. There are also five pri
vate rooms for the accommodation of
females. One ’portion of this floor was
formerly used as a ward for seamen, but
was remodeled a short time ago, forming
eight private rooms for gentlemen.
At the eastern extremity of the wing
there Is a spacious bath room and a trunk
room. An elevator leading from the
basement is used to carry meals to the
patients an the first and second floors. It
is proposed to construct a second elevator
leading from the basement at the rear of
the building to the third floor. This
elevator will be used to move the sick on
their arrival at the hospital to the upper
floors, and for the transportation of bed
ding and furniture. The elevator already
in use is too small for the work, and is
only adapted, on account ol its location,
lor the service for which it was originally
intended.
A double stairway leads from the first
floor to the second, where the visitor en
ters wide passage-ways similar to those
described in the first" story. Two large
piazzas, one on the south "and the other
on the north side of the building, are
ueed by convalescents.
Here the patients jmay sit in the shade
and enjoy a fine view of that portion of
the city, and be refreshed by the in
vigorating atmosphere, which at times
assumes the character of a stiff breeze.
Within are several private rooms opening
into the main hall, while two wards, one
lor male and the other for female
patients, occupy the east and west wings.
Each ot these wards furnish accommoda
tions for 25 patients. The beds are
ranged in rows.
Everything is kept absolutely clean,
and ample light and ventilation is fur
nished by a number of windows set In the
north mul south walls.
Miss Hinsdale, Assistant Superintend
ent, came to the hospital last March from
the training school for nurses in Bellevue
Hospital in New York. At her sugges
tion several marked improvements have
been made in the facilities for the care
and convenience of the 6ick, among the
number being the subdivision of a portion
of each ward into a small dining
room, which is furnished with a
table and chairs. Here those who
are too feeble to go to the dining-rooms
on the lower floors may take their meals
undisturbed, and at the same time be
separated from the view of the other pa
tients who are not in a condition to leave
the wards.
AU the interior stairways in the hos
pital are covered with rubber,
which deadens the sotlriu nt the footstep.
The passageways are tastefully Car
peted, the ceilings are white, and every
portion of the woodwork is kept fresh in
coloring and attractive to the eye. A
large clock In the main hall" noise
lessly indicates the flight of time, and
every department is conducted in such
a systematic and quiet way that even the
most sympathetic nerve of the extremely
ill cannot be shocked by an unwelcome
sound.
Dr. William Duncan is General Su
perintendent of the institution,
and is ably seconded by Dr. C. H.
Coldiug, the resident physician, Dr.
Charlton, the visiting physician, and
by Miss Whitley, the chief nurse. Dur
ing the absence of the matron, Mrs. #old
iug, Miss Hinsdale is officiating in the
dual capacity of Assistant Superinten
dent and matron, and carefully looks
after the needs ot the 46 patients now
in her care.
Fashion Notes.
The favorite shades for suede gloves are
mushroom browns.
Yokes are immensely fashionable both
for young ladies and little girls.
Blue and grey are the most fashionable
combination colors for street wear.
Dresses of black and used m
the composition of the costume are in
high favor.
Children’s stockings are dark or black
even when white or the palest tinted
dresses are worn.
The Jersey, in future, will take the
form of a well-fitted corsage, uulined, but
shapely and well trimmed.
The most elegant of all luxurious demi
toilet costumes for summer is of pale-buff
pongee, embroidered in figures, dots, or
sprays in the same color with silk.
A favorite way of sewing on lace this
year is gathering the lace, then sewing it
on the wroug side, turning and catching
it down at intervals, making a puff.
The most fashionable jerseys are those
with vests of a contrasting color, and that
have velvet collar and cuffs, with pos
tilion plaits of velvet and velvet buttons.
Foplin is again in favor, Worth and
Dusuzeau having made many handsome
costumes of this fabric, which is now
brought out in a lighter and more drap
able form than formerly.

THE STORY OF SAM BARTON.
A Real Enoch Arden Returns to ° cean *
port—He Come* Home to Die Ai? er "*' en
Year*’ Absence and Finds his w,fe
Wedded to His Former Rival.
A few scattered houses, painted a sober
brown, rest upon the sands two miles
north of Long Branch, New Jersey, says
the New York Sun, and constitute the
village of Oceanport. The little houses
are tenanted by a people whose hardy
lives and simple manners contrast
strongly with the luxury and gayety of
Long Branch. It is only once in a while
that fashionable visitors find their wav to
Oceanport, and then they go for the ex
press purpose of eating freshly caught
fish and clams.
A pathetic story, closely resembling the
story ol Enoch Arden and Annie Lee, has
recently been disclosed upon a deathbed
in this quiet and primitive village. The
narrative, however, has agitated the sim
ple-minded folk but little, and the tongue
of gossip has scarcely touched upon it.
The history had to be" gathered by bits.
The work was not an easy one, since those
who knew it best manifested a disposition
to talk the least. But here is the story:
A pretty girl lived near Manasquan 30
years ago. Her name was Matilda Dulci
mer Squires. Those who knew her then
say tbat her eyes were wonderfully soft
and blue, her figure was trim and grace
ful, and hev brown hair long and lustrous.
Besides these gifts of beauty she had the
qualities requisite for a good housewife.
She was the daughter ot a fisherman, a
thrifty, staid and practical man. Two
young men paid her court—Hiram Olive,
whose father had recently died and left
him a farm near the quaint old village of
Branchburg, and Samuel Barton, who
like her father was a toiler of the sea.
Hard luck had come to Barton %nd he
had little to offer his lady-love beyond his
heart and hand. Old man Squires, with
his eye always to the main chance, was
an advocate of the suit of Olive, and
curtly hinted to Barton that he Deed
not hope to become the husband of the
pretty Matilda. The pretty Matilda and
Barton, however, had notions of their
own on that subject. Barton had already
declared his love, and Matilda had told
him that she was “fond” of him. Her
father’s opposition but increased the in
tensity of her attachment. They met by
stealth, and in the end were married in
secret. The truth could not be hidden
always, and when in the course of time
old. Squires discovered it he was furious.
He was hardly the man to forgive and
bless. As his child had chosen, he said,
so be it unto her. He sent her away from
his house, and declared that as she had
disobeyed him, she had despised him, and
must no more think of him as father.
The ill-luck that attended Samuel Bar
ton as a lover followed him as a husband.
Nothing seemed to prosper with him.
Three children came. They, like their
mother, were bright and pretty. But
they were not gold or silver. It was nat
ural that Matilda’s thoughts, under these
circumstances, should sometimes revert
to the old days with something of regret
for what might have been. Hiram Olive
was still in fortune’s favor. But he never
thought of marriage any more, and there
was no girl at Manasquan who could
truthfully say that his attentions to her
meant more than polite form. After Ma
tilda Squires’marriage he lost much of
the buoyancy that had characterized him
before. His relations with Matilda and
Samuel Barton, Ifbwever, still remained
kindly. It is related ol him that on one
occasion, when Matilda’s oldest child was
suddenly taken violently ill, he rode six
miles through a snow storm to bring a
physician.
Matilda was discontented, and she
vented her feelings upon her husband,
reproaching him for having, as she put it,
seduced her into espousing his fortunes,
and chided him with his poverty. Her
husband one day informed her that he
had received an offer through a friend to
go as mate on a vessel bound from New
York to China, and had accepted the
offer. The voyage, he said, would take
about a year. He received half his pay
in advance and gave it to her for the sup’-
port of herself and the little ones. He sold
his fishing boat and gave her that money
too. When they parted, he to go on his
long journey, she to natiently wait his
return in the little fisher’s cottage, she
lell into his arms weeping as if she never
would see him again.
He lifted her up and coldly said: “I
thought that you had got tired o’ me, Ma
tildy. I’ve brought you no good—no, no
good—but maybe this will be a change in
my.fortune.”
Ten months after that Matilda received
intelligence that the vessel on which her
husband sailed was wrecked in southern
seas. The months and years went by and
she heard not a word from the ocean.
Just 10 years after her husband had
sailed away she married again. The
groom was Hiram Olive. Her father
lived long enough to witness the cere
mony and to take his daughter back to
his heart. Hiram Olive sold his farm and
bright one near Oceanport, and took his
bride and the children of his old rival
with him and lived there.
Three weeks ago a weather-beaten old
man in shabby clothes appeared in Ocean
port. His cheeks above his gray, grizzled
beard were pale and sunken". He said
that come down from New York.
He got a lodging in the house of the
Widow Josephson, a kindly old soul some
times called “Grandmother Joe.” The
second morning after his arrival he was
unable to rise from his bed. “I never
shall gat up again,” he said to anxious
Grandmother Joe. “I’ve got consump
tion bad, I have dragged myself hers to
die, but uoh 5 t iear wheii I am gone. You
will find money enough in a belt round
my waist to pay you for all your trouble.
1 hung oa to that though everything else
left me. As I came down here 1 heard
the name of a certain woman. It was
Matilda Dulcimer Olive. She once was
the wife of a fisherman who lived on the
coast near here named Sam Barton. She
was the daughter of old man Squires. Do
you know' her?”
“Yes.”
“Well, go tell her to come here to see
me. Tell her she must come; only once
—that will be all. Go right now.”
“Who are you?”
“She will know.”
The widow, full of surprise and curi
osity, hurried away, leaving the sick man
in charge of her red-haired maid of all
work, Susie. When she returned Ma
tilda was with her. The two women en
tered tiie sick room together. The stran
ger was lying with his shining eyes fixed
upon the doorway. Matilda’s eyes met
his. For an instant she stood staring
hard at him as if half in doubt, then she
started back and cried aloud.
“Yes,” said the stranger, “yes, yes, it’s
Sam Barton—not dead, but dyin°f.”
Then he explained how he had been
picked up by a vessel that carried him to
Australia, how he toiled and suffered to
make a fortune there, and how, after he
had put a little together, ill-luck always
came and swept it away until he some
times believed that he was accursed. Re
membering how his poverty had goaded
Matilda before and made her cruel and
unhappy, he resolved not to write to her,
but let her think him dead. In the inter
vening years he had traveled round and
round the world and gathered nothing but
enough to buy him a coffin and grave, and
this money he bound in a belt round his
waist, and determined to starve rather
than touch it. He heard by chance only
a few years ago of Matilda’s second mar
riage. " Disease seized him, and when the
shadow of death enveloped him he felt an
irresistible impulse to see his wife once
more, to declare his identity and assert
his rights for one fleeting moment.
He asked that when he was dead his
children might lie brought to look upon
his face, and said that if they had forgot
ten him no one should tell them who he
was; but if they should recall his face no
one should deny the truth. He died. He
was buried on Thursday of last wteek.
His children were brought to look upon
his lifeless face, as he had asked. They
were grown up, and the eldest, also named
Samuel, divined the truth in an instant.
Indeed, he was so perfect a reproduction
of what his father was in youth that even
a stranger could see that a close relation
ship must have existed between them.
Little by little the history has come out,
and when the Widow Josephson, who had
been enjoined to conditional secrecy by
Matilda, saw that the story would soon
become known she began to tell it round
in whispers to startled neighbors.
Matilda told Hiram Olive all the truth,
and it is said that to satisfy their con
sciences they intend to be remarried.
Olive was found last night at his home.
He was disinclined to talk, but by degrees
he consented to lop off exaggerations that
had Decome engrafted on the story, and
he confirmed the history here given.
